I would be happy with no such a rule. It would be very silly to have a super-updated repo for a project for one year while no translation has been done on it the past two years (I'm exagerating a bit ;-) All right, I'll try to do this once or twice and see if it brings more translators or not. If not, I'll hesitate to do it a third time ;-) Regards, -- Youcef R. Rahal
